About me
As a Counsellor and Psychotherapist I can offer a trained ear to help make sense of and relieve what is worrying, troubling, depressing or anxiety provoking. I believe in our ability to be healed, grow and develop throughout our lives. I work both short and longer term largely informed by a psychodynamic perspective. I may also use Person Centred, solution focused or cognitive approaches.
I can offer counselling in MK and Bedfordshire postcode areas.
I am a member of BPC, FPC, UKRC and an Accredited Member of BACP.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have an Advanced Diploma in Psychodynamic counselling skills from WPF Herts and Beds Pastoral Foundation. I am a Psychotherapist and Counsellor with experience of open ended work, PCT brief counselling, Domestic Violence Counselling, Group work, Adoption issues and Supervision as well as a range of Private work. I am a Barnado's Link Affiliate Adoption Counsellor. I work in Woburn Sands.
I also offer Supervision and hold an SAP Supervision Certificate.
Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
Accredited Register Scheme
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
